Shiroma Southwest, 972-732-6100
For Immediate Release November 3, 2004:
JERRY REYNOLDS AND DANNY MAYER JOIN FORCES TO HOST WOUNDED SOLDIERS FOR WILLIE NELSON CONCERT
Jerry Reynolds, owner operator of Prestige Ford Garland, has joined forces with Danny Mayer, General Manager of Grubbs Infiniti, to create a memorable occasion for fifty (50) wounded United States soldiers recuperating from injuries sustained in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Friday, November 12, Reynolds and Mayer will send a chartered bus to collect approximately fifty soldiers, all Purplr Heart recipients, recovering from injuries at Brooks Army Medical Center in San Antonio. The soldiers and their medical accompaniment will travel to Fort Worth, where they will be treated to a barbecue dinner provided by Jimmy Riscky of Riscky’s Barbecue. Following dinner, the group will enjoy a concert by legendary artist Willie Nelson before returning to San Antonio.
Reynolds and Mayer recognize the importance of the sacrifices made by these soldiers. “So many of our wounded soldiers are recovering far from home and far from family,” notes Reynolds. “It is our obligation to support these brave Americans as they recover from their injuries.”
Reynolds and Mayer hope to use the event to launch a program geared at collecting funds and mileage to bring family members to be with injured soldiers during the holiday season. “Many of these young men and women are alone at the holiday season,” notes Mayer. “We want to bring a little bit of home to them this holiday season as they recover.”
Reynolds is also known for his patriotic writings that have been published in the Dallas Morning News and are found on many websites worldwide. They can be read at the Prestige Ford website, www.prestigegarland.com
Mayer is a US Navy veteran as well as being a Vietnam veteran and is an outspoken advocate of the military. Grubbs Infiniti www.grubbs.com has been a national leader in providing the military with many benefits.
